AWP | Asiimov (Battle-Scarred)

The AWP | Asiimov is a Covert sniper rifle skin in the game's famous white, orange, and black sci-fi styling, shown here in its most heavily worn grade. It's the lowest-cost way into a legendary AWP look, trading surface condition for the cheapest entry point.

Design

This is a striking, forward-looking finish — orange accents and black paneling breaking up a white shell, giving it the feel of sci-fi hardware rather than an actual firearm. The community artist Coridium created it, and its in-game line suits the theme: "Anyone can predict the future... a visionary shapes it."

AWP | Asiimov (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

At Battle-Scarred the finish wears its damage without apology — heavy scratching, dark grime, and paint loss spread across the pale shell, and the white base makes every mark show. This is the roughest the design gets, with float running toward the top of the scale. The orange and black detailing survives as the anchor that keeps it readable, so even at its most beaten the skin still reads unmistakably as Asiimov.

AWP | Asiimov Rarity

Rarity: Covert, the red tier that tops the standard weapon-skin grades and ranks above Classified. Covert pulls are among the rarest a case can give up, and that rarity underpins a good deal of Asiimov's standing.

AWP | Asiimov Case and Collection

Part of The Phoenix Collection, Asiimov drops from the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case that arrived with the Operation Phoenix update in February 2014. Covert is the case's rarest tier, which puts the odds of unboxing this skin specifically well under one percent per opening; with the Operation Phoenix Case long gone from the active drop pool, supply is fixed, and most copies trade on the market rather than coming fresh from a case.

AWP | Asiimov Patterns

The Asiimov carries no random pattern variation; the white, orange, and black graphic is placed the same way on every unit, leaving no paint seed or blue gem to hunt. Wear and float are all that distinguish one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ AWP | Asiimov is available and tracks confirmed kills; it's a scarcer, more expensive drop than the plain version, and the counter stays permanent, carrying over whenever the item changes hands through a trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version, as Souvenir weapons are handed out only in Major-tournament packages, and the Operation Phoenix Weapon Case was never a Major souvenir drop.

AWP | Asiimov Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade of the skin, the entry-level route to running Asiimov for players who care more about the look than the condition. Even at the bottom of its own ladder it's a premium AWP finish, since the design commands a following regardless of wear. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Battle-Scarred Asiimov still recognizable?

Yes. Despite heavy scuffing and grime across the white shell, the orange and black sci-fi graphic keeps the design clearly readable at a glance in-game. Battle-Scarred is about accepting visible wear in exchange for the lowest price, not losing the Asiimov look altogether.

Is Battle-Scarred the cheapest way to own Asiimov?

Yes. Battle-Scarred is the lowest grade the finish comes in, so it carries the smallest price tag of any Asiimov exterior. For players who want the legendary sci-fi AWP in their loadout and aren't fussed about surface condition, it's the most affordable entry point available.

Does wear reach the extreme end at Battle-Scarred?

It can. The finish runs all the way to the top of the float scale, so the most weathered copies show substantial paint loss and grime on the pale body. Lower-float Battle-Scarred examples look tidier, which is worth checking if you want the grade without the very roughest surface.
